In 1947, he enlisted in the Air Force and served as Sr. Air Operations Specialist during the Berlin Airlift while stationed in England.

They were married in England in 1951. After Pauline arrived in the United States they remarried in New York on Dec. 28, 1951.

Roger worked for the US Postal Service where he was the Postmaster in three separate offices. He worked at the Post Office by day and at the coal mine by night. During his life he worked hard and taught his kids and grandkids how to hunt, fish, repair cars, and the importance of savings. Roger enjoyed snow skiing, water skiing, or anything to do with the outdoors. From the time he was a small child he always wanted to be a pilot. He eventually received his pilot license and his own plane. Roger took great pride in his kids and grandkids in their accomplishments through life. He will be greatly missed.
